Hi everybody (and particularly Cedric ;)),
I wanted to add a category entry for the XML PrettyPrinter plugin on the SF bugtracker, but I'm not sure which name to choose, because there are three [1]:
1) XML PrettyPrinter ("GUI" name, that's perfectly normal) 2) pretty-printer (the name in the source tree) 3) pretty-print (the name of the .so file)
I find this quite confusing, so I suggest to choose one of the "UNIX" names for both the source tree and the .so file (and everywhere else it may be useful). It would, hopefully, make referring to the plugin less error-prone :) I'd personally vote for pretty-printer if you're interested by my opinion, because it is simple and looks more like the GUI name than pretty-print.
Cheers, Colomban
[1] most plugins have 2 name: the UNIX name and a "GUI" name, generally more descriptive and translatable.

I second this.
